It is a portrait of a man whose search for freedom — artistic, political, sexual — defied poverty, censorship, persecution, exile and death. Like Arenas' work, Before Night Falls combines passages of transporting imagination with urgent realism; in so doing, it embodies the creative ethos to which Arenas dedicated himself; transforming experience into unfettered expression.
